A nurse is teaching a parent of a 4-month-old infant who has developmental dysplasia of the hip and is prescribed a Pavlik harness. Which of the following instructions on the use of a Pavlik harness should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. "I will be excused from physical education class." Exercise is encouraged for children with cystic fibrosis (CF) because it helps clear mucus from the lungs and improves overall lung function.

B. "I will increase my intake of vitamin D." People with CF have difficulty absorbing fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) due to pancreatic insufficiency. Vitamin D supplementation is essential to prevent deficiencies and support bone health.

C. "I will limit my calcium intake to prevent kidney stones." CF patients are at risk for osteoporosis due to malabsorption of calcium and vitamin D, so they should increase, not limit, their calcium intake.

D. "I will take fewer enzymes when I eat high-fat foods." CF patients require pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) with every meal and snack to aid digestion. More enzymes, not fewer, are needed for high-fat meals to properly digest and absorb nutrients.

A. "Hypertension" Epidural anesthesia typically causes hypotension, not hypertension, due to vasodilation and decreased sympathetic nervous system activity.

B. "Mild sedation" While some systemic absorption of anesthetics may occur, epidural anesthesia primarily affects sensory and motor function rather than causing significant sedation.

C. "Urinary retention" Epidural anesthesia can inhibit bladder sensation and detrusor muscle function, leading to urinary retention. The nurse should monitor urine output and assess for bladder distention.

D. "Respiratory depression" While respiratory depression can occur with high doses of opioids administered through an epidural, it is not a common expected effect of epidural anesthesia alone.
